1. There is only 1 store of each 2. Can't skip STM 3. The flow of information helps to retain information from the STM to LTM via rehearsal 4. There is no decisions or problem solving to complete in order to remember

Define encoding

This is the input stage, it is the 'taking on board' of information. Sensory input---------> Code suitable for further processing

10 of 19

Define storage

This is the process of storing the item in a suitable code in the memory

11 of 19

Define retrieval

This concerns the way in which stored items are recovered, and the possible processes that might be invovled

12 of 19

Give an example in your own words of something you encoded, stored and the retrieved

Information from school work/revision taking in/learning the information---> Revision--->Exams/Tests

13 of 19

We often say we can't remember something or that we forget it. Explain this in terms of ESR

We have learn't something, but it hasn't been filed away for further usage. Or we might not have encoded it properly. Or we might have learn't it and stored the information but might not be accessible at that time e.g on a gameshow and you freeze

Suggest and explain 1 claim and evidence that supports the Multi-Store Model

Glanzer & Cunitz, serial position experiment, participants are asked to listen/read words then see how many they can recall. This supports the MSM due to the dip in the graph showing 2 separate 'high points' - STM end of the list, LTM start

15 of 19

Suggest and explain 1 claim and evidence that doesn't support the Multi-Store Model

Hyde & Jenkins, demonstrated incidental learning, participants were able to recall information later even though they had made no conscious effect to learn the material. Suggests that rehearsal is irrelevant, dependent on how they processed the items

16 of 19

Explain the Brown and Peterson technique

A method used to measure the duration of STM by preventing rehearsal of information. It suggested that information held in STM is quickly lost if rehearsal is prevented. Supports MSM, information has to be rehearsed in STM to enter the LTM

Give 2 strengths of the Multi-Store Model

1. There is evidence form both experiments and case studies to support the idea of 2 memory stores (HM and Wearing). 2. It is fertile, it has been a good starting point for the development of other models (WMW or LOP)

18 of 19

Give 2 limitations of the Multi-Store Model

1. Model is too simplistic, there is likely to be more than one type of LTM e.g procedural, declarative or episodic. 2. Laboratory experiments, lacks ecological validity
